Scoly Eats Cerith Snail

[nycfreshreef]

Woke up this morning to this ….

Plan is to leave the scoly alone for now but monitor closely … probably will eject the shell sooner or later

Poor snail …

If any of you guys have similar photos post !

Are you sure it's eating it? Sometimes I'll have hermits in cerith shells perch on corals

Yes half of the cerith is inside the scolys mouth , only the tail end of the shell is sticking out

Interesting. Most likely the snail fell on the scoly. Hopefully the scoly will decide it's not worth the effort and spit it out. I've never kept scoly but have a lot of fleshy LPS and have never seen one try to eat a snail
